The term ‘Direct Clear Juice’ (DCJ) refers to the production of clear juice (CJ) within a modified sugarcane diffuser, thus negating the need for further juice purification in a settling clarifier. The feasibility of producing CJ by filtering treated diffuser juice through a shredded cane bed was demonstrated on a laboratory scale at the Sugar Milling Research Institute NPC (SMRI) and reported at the 2013 ISSCT congress. Factory trials were subsequently conducted at Tongaat Hulett’s Maidstone factory where the promising laboratory results were replicated in a full-scale diffuser. The production of DCJ requires consideration of the juice flow path in the diffuser, the method of lime and flocculant addition, and the screening of the juice after the diffuser. This paper summarises the results and learnings from the DCJ trials between 2011 and 2015. The development of the DCJ technology has been a collaborative project between the SMRI and Tongaat Hulett Sugar.

This review paper covers extensive investigations which were undertaken in order to verify the idea of launching of ships and other floating structures from a horizontal berth by a set of turning pads. This includes structural dynamics during launching, model tests and strength analysis of the structure and the launching system. The most important results, which were used for the design of the launching system, are presented. The preparation of a barge for side launching is described, and the full-scale measurement results are compared with the test results. The advantages of building ships and offshore structures on a horizontal berth are pointed out in the conclusion.

Abstract In this paper, a micromachined silicon load cell (force sensor) is presented for measuring loads up to 500 kg. The load cell has been realized and tested. Measurement results show a hysteresis error of ±0.02% of the full-scale output (fso). Creep at 500 kg after 30 minutes is within 0.01% of the fso. These measurements show that the performance has improved by a factor of 10 compared to the previous design.

Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin

Abstract BACKGROUND The need for equivalent results of routine measurement procedures for the alcohol biomarker carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) has been recognized by the IFCC. This article describes a project to harmonize CDT as conducted by an IFCC working group initiated for this purpose. METHODS We used procedures for achieving harmonization as developed by the Consortium for Harmonization of Clinical Laboratory Results to assess the suitability of a candidate reference measurement procedure (cRMP), candidate reference materials (cRMs), and the success of efforts to achieve harmonization. RESULTS CDT measurement procedures in routine use showed good reproducibility (CV 1.1%–2.8%) and linearity (r > 0.990) with variable slopes (0.766–1.065) and intercepts (−0.34 to 0.92) compared to the cRMP. Heterogeneity after simulated harmonization was 4.7%. cRMs of frozen human native sera demonstrated commutability and 3-year stability for routine measurement procedures. The cRMP provided reproducible value assignment to cRMs with an expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of 0.03% at the 1.2% CDT level and 0.06% at the 4.4% CDT level. Harmonization efforts reduced the intermeasurement CV from 8.8% to 3.4%, allowed 99% recovery of the values assigned with the cRMP, and demonstrated 99% of results within the desirable allowable total error. Harmonization was less successful in samples with low CDT and high trisialotransferrin concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Harmonization of CDT is possible with frozen human native sera as cRMs with values assigned by use of the cRMP. We propose the cRMP as a candidate international conventional reference measurement procedure and cRMs as candidate international calibrators.
